14.
REMOVE ALL MAINTENANCE TOOLS
from the immediate area prior to turning “ON” the
machine.
15.
USE ONLY RECOMMENDED
ACCESSORIES.
Use of incorrect or improper
accessories could cause serious injury to the
operator and cause damage to the tool. If in
doubt, check the instruction manual that comes
with that particular accessory.
16.
NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL
UNATTENDED.
Turn the power switch to the
“OFF” position.
DO NOT
leave the tool until it has
come to a complete stop.
17.
DO NOT STAND ON A TOOL.
Serious injury
could result if the tool tips over, or you
accidentally contact the tool.
18.
DO NOT
store anything above or near the
tool where anyone might try to stand on the tool
to reach it.
19.
MAINTAIN YOUR BALANCE. DO NOT
extend yourself over the tool. Wear oil resistant
rubber soled shoes. Keep floor clear of debris,
grease, and wax.
20.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE.
Always
keep tools clean and in good working order. Keep
all blades and tool bits sharp, dress grinding
wheels and change other abrasive accessories
when worn.
21.
EACH AND EVERY TIME, CHECK FOR
DAMAGED PARTS PRIOR TO USING THE
TOOL.
Carefully check all guards to see that they
operate properly, are not damaged, and perform
their intended functions. Check for alignment,
binding or breaking of moving parts. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be immediately
repaired or replaced.
22.
DO NOT OPERATE TOOL WHILE TIRED,
OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS,
MEDICATION OR ALCOHOL.
23.
SECURE ALL WORK.
Use clamps or jigs to
secure the work piece. This is safer than attempt
-
ing to hold the work piece with your hands.
24.
STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE
DOING, AND USE COMMON SENSE WHEN
OPERATING A POWER TOOL.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
25.
ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO
PREVENT INHALING DANGEROUS DUST OR
AIRBORNE PARTICLES,
including wood dust,
crystalline silica dust and asbestos dust.
Direct particles away from face and body.
Always operate tool in well ventilated area and
provide for proper dust removal.
Use dust collection system wherever possible.
Exposure to the dust may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury, including
silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and
death.
Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged
contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote
absorption of harmful material.
Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection appropriate for
the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas
with soap and water.
26.
USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN
GOOD CONDITION.
When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will
draw. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the larger
diameter of the extension cord. If in doubt of the
proper size of an extension cord, use a shorter
and thicker cord. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power
and overheating.
USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD
THAT HAS A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG
AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT
ACCEPTS THE TOOL’S PLUG.
